January Goals

In December my goals were about giving grace and really seeking Jesus during the season. I'd love to say I had some huge Jesus month, where I felt refreshed and satisfied, but truth is I didn't. I was holding onto a hope that I am so unsure of. Waiting on God and being angry for what I thought should happen didn't happen. All the way till December 31st I waited with full hope of the answers to come. For the big present. And it didn't. But isn't that how He works, always in His timing? His ways are higher than mine and even though I am hurt and confused and feel like I'm standing in the middle of a desert screaming "which way Lord?" I know He's right here, holding me in the waiting. While I'm screaming, He's whispering "Be patient."




Like so many January is a time to get back to business --
refreshment, better planning, real foods, exercising, better sleep
But it is so easy to become discouraged, to not see the big picture, that changes need to come slowly.
And never forget that GRACE needs it's place in the rearranging and the changing.

My January goals are 

1. Write in my food journal daily - even the bad days
2. Work out at least 4 days a week
3. Keep reaching for JOY

Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

Winter

Winter. It's cold. And in Ohio, so dreary. Lacking of the sun. Or the ability to play outside and feel the warmth on your skin. Days stuck inside. And it all starts to weigh heavy. My spirit goes down the drain. The heaviness on my shoulders & in my heart seems to be slowly crushing me. But I won't stop the struggle. I won't give up & let it eat me alive. The panic attacks that leave me breathless. The numbness. And then the crying. It will all pass. It always passes. But in the middle when the struggle is real I'm thankful for people who speak life into me, God's closeness, being able to receive that warm blanket of His word, hot coffee & making out with my husband, hey, let's get real, making out helps.
